David's First Christmas Tree

Hi all! Our computer isn't turning on right now, but I am using Jonathan's work computer to slip in a post... so I am sorry if its a little while before I blog again. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with both sides of the family, and managed to slip out after Church to get our Christmas Tree...what a weekend!




This years tree hunt was a little more difficult than in past years. In order to keep David from pulling on the branches (should he ever decide to go mobile) we wanted to get a shorter tree that we could put on top of a table... but for some reason we couldn't find any the right height! It took us a good hour before we picked one that still seemed a tad bit tall, but once the trunk was trimmed and the top shortened for the angel, it ended up being perfect :) David loved looking all around as we hiked the hilltop and carried him. He enjoyed feeling the needly branches and was a good sport the whole time. I hope you enjoy the photos! God Bless :)

November Walk

David and I enjoyed a nice walk, watching leaves fall, and took lots of pictures of David! Enjoy :)

Happy Days

 

Went to pick up Levi Today, and ended up spending the day at my parents house, David go to spend time with Grandma, and Grandpa too once he arrived home. Even had some fun with Aunt Julie and a minute with Uncle Bug :) Levi, now home is as lazy as he has ever been, having exhausted all his energy playing with the dogs at Mom and Dad's. Enjoy the super cute pics I took while we visited!
God Bless :)

 

 

 

Gingerbread Houses

 

Hello,
Had a wonderful time this weekend visiting Longview and building our gingerbread houses together. Laura, Teresa, Grandma Ruth, Rosie and I all put together gingerberad creations. Rosie gets prizes for fastest learning beginner, EVER! not only did she finish hers first, but it was beautiful and creative... I loved her embellishments she piped on the angles of the house and all the fun details in the yard. Grandma Ruth made a large Christmas tree covered in edible ornaments and Laura made a lakehouse that was very creative. Teresa made the Turtle River Inn, complete with a romantic covered bridge going over the river. I designed my own pattern off of a photo to make my Christmas Colonial house with large Candy cane pillars. It turned out beautifully and I am glad that I got it finished and that it arrived safely home :) Please enjoy the photos... and sorry I dont have pics of Grandma's or Rosie's but my camera didn't get unpacked until after they had left. I am sure you can find photos at one of the other blogs :)
God Bless!

 

 

 

By Special Request...

 

Hello Fans!
Sorry I haven't updated in so very long, life has been going on around here. We had Jan and Laura up to make Christmas ornaments (way fun) I have had fun making them lately :) Dressed David up on Halloween, so he could sit next to the giant bowl of candy we had for trick-or-treaters- so cute, he loved the shiny wrappers. We visited Dan, Joy, Grace and Isaiah- quite enjoyable David and I managed to slip out of the house a few times for walks between rain showers, we are are feeling nice and sane. This week have been baking gingerbread and filling windows so we are ready to build upon our arrival in Longview, can't wait to see all of our amazing creations. Mostly I know you just want pics of David, so please enjoy... oh and he smacks his lips now and thinks its the coolest thing when grown-ups copy what he does and the sounds he makes, lol.
